Tara Group boosts finance team

Family-owned construction company Tara Group has strengthened its finance function with three strategic appointments to support its five-year growth plan. 

Taranjit Tiwana joins as finance director for Cameron Homes, bringing 12 years’ experience with Redrow Homes, while David Grady takes on the role of group chief financial officer, having previously held senior finance positions at PwC, Donaldsons, Tarmac, the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and University of Wolverhampton.

David said: “This is a fantastic time to be joining the Tara Group as we plot the next five years of growth.

“Having a strong finance function is critical for what we’ve got planned and we’re investing heavily in both people and the latest technology to make sure we are optimising efficiencies and providing a strong cash reserve to go after new sites and local authority frameworks.”

The team is further bolstered by Kiera Pascoe (FCCA), promoted to director of tax and financial compliance, following 18 years as finance director at Chasetown Civil Engineering. 

Julie Caudle, chief operating officer at Tara Group, said: “Despite a lot of market pressures and instability in the economy, we’ve still posted another year of growth and feel these trio of moves really gives us the financial base to target new opportunities. 

“David and Taranjit bring a lot of industry experience to their roles, whilst Kiera understands the culture and approach of the business having been with us for more nearly two decades.

“Together they will focus on bringing the three businesses together and achieving enhanced efficiencies from initial costings of jobs, right through to production and delivery.

“There will also be a stronger focus on data and automation in our processes.”

The appointments will help Tara Group achieve its target of building group sales toward £400 million by 2030, supporting its open market housing, civil engineering and affordable homes divisions across the Midlands.
